How to Keep Flies Away

Flies can be a nuisance pest for homes and businesses. A fly infestation could pose a serious health risk as flies are known to spread a range of diseases, like Salmonella and E.coli. If you want to deter flies, there are some practical steps you can take. Some of these methods are totally cost-free and only require your time to action. Recommended steps involve making changes indoors and outdoors to cover all potential hot spots and ensure effective fly control.
